You're a funny guy Steve... That was last season, before I unleashed the full potential of the franken-gun

PS my scope is around $800 and the rifle probably 1/10th of your club rifle, but hey, it's all about the equipment, right

jackAngus, knowing what I know now, I'd be investing in a FFP vortex PST 6-24, get it from Theopticzone.com.

Have you got a rifle yet ?

Other options would be Sightron s3 ffp 6-24 or if you decide to go second focal plane then s3 8-32x56 or 10-50x60

I shoot most FTR matches between 16 and 20 magnification, not convinced that higher mag is worth it, sometimes it is a negative as you'll see people shooting on the wrong target when they don't have the full target frame and number in the sight picture
